What R50 meant 20 years ago
What do you remember buying in 1994 with only R50? Gabriel and Natarah share what they managed to buy with only R50 just 20 year ago - unreal!
Natarah remembers going to the movies with her brother, then going to The Pizza Hut for milkshakes and ordering a medium Hawaiian.
We did all of that with just R50, says Natarah.
Gabriel on the other hand remembers buying his first CD: Busta Rhymes - The Coming
It was a 16 track album for only R49.00 at Musica.
When he bought the CD, he had no pocket money for the month as he blew it with his monthly allowance which was also R50 per month.
Take a look at Gabriel’s Back To School Stationery list in 1994:
1x288pg 4Quire Maths Exercise Book- R8.95
